Applying for Graduation

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! You've worked hard to earn it, and there are only a few steps remaining until you are approved
for graduation! In order to be certified for graduation, please follow these steps:

Once your graduation paperwork and graduation survey are complete, please make an appointment with one of the physics advisors to
get your major program form signed.

In addition to the two steps above, Arts & Sciences physics majors will also need to make an appointment with their College
Advisor. This will be done after the major program form has been signed by a physics advisor.
